Hi Sweetness,

Dh is doing ok been home 3 weeks now but a side effect from the transplant is something called graft vs host disease and in majority of cases causes skin irritation which DH has got but he got some cream which seems to be helping. Also found out yesterday at the hospital that he has a low level of infection which looks like glandular fever so just got to keep an eye on that. On a TTC point of view tho I've been reading that apparently some men after Allogeneic Stem cell transplants there fertility has returned so fx'd if IVF doesn't work in a year or so I could fall pregnant natural who knows.

Jack, hope everything went well yesterday and looking forward to seeing some pics

Lotus, not long now

Hope everyone else is doing well xx

Sandy- oh my that would be absolutely perfect if you got a natural bfp!!! And I'm glad everything is going good with him. I hear it's pretty common to have some fevers with transplants just as long as it doesn't turn into something crazy. I guess it's just the bodies natural response with a transplant. And I pray that everything cont to go great with him. Keep me posted. And again as for the natural bfp that would be amazing you both more then deserve it.

Sandy I admire your courage and patience, you're a good person and despite all that you've been through, you're still cheering others and encouraging them. I always have you in my prayers and I know very soon you'll be smiling holding your baby!

Sweetness I remember you too, you were pregnant before I had my baby. How are your girls?
its great to see everyone's progress on this thread.

Did you have your beta mumdadandb?

 

[Sweetness_87]

Mum- i actually have two boys . But they are doing great. A little over ten months both crawling all over the place starting to try to walk. And talking to each other like crazy .

When is your beta?

 

[Mumdadandb]

Sweetness - Oh wow they're boys! definitely pretty boys . Wow so happy for you. Thats the beauty of having twins...they get a playmate right away You should record their conversation, its so funny how babies talk to each other

Mobaby I got the result its a bfp!! I'm over the moon excited. Its 106 and I'm a bit worried because my beta with my son was 353. The nurse told me its a perfect number but I cant stop thinking about it.

 

[MoBaby]

It depends on what dpo also.. What were you now and with your son?

Sweet, so glad to see you and the boys are doing well. The girls are doing great! Almost 8 months and crawling all over the place. Funny how we have been in this TTC journey since my first BFN almost 2 years ago. Do you ever hear anything from Ashknowsbest? I wonder how she is. She started the first thread I ever followed.

Mum, so happy for you!!!!

Lotus, 31 weeks! Wow! Are you ready?

Mo, Brandy how your both doing well.

Sandy glad DH is doing ok. I hope things continue to progress in the right direction. Fx'd for a natural BFP.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Hi mells ... I'm still here. Still not pregnant nor have I had my first BFP however we are taking steps to become pregnant starting on October 28th. I still check back here and there. Can't believe the people I started with have gone on to have their second babies, and their current babies are almost a year old. I'm so happy for them but so sad that my journey to have a child is still happening ... I will get there eventually.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Mell- yes it is crazy how fast time flies. Have you thought scout having another ????? . Also does it seem as your two have their own language persay?

Mum- that's so exciting!! And yes we have a lot of videos. I might post one sometime

Lotus- that's sooooo exciting 31 weeks! Crazy to think that's when my boys came

Mo and brandy how are y'all doing

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ash- I always wondered where ya went but I completly understand. After having my first m/c didn't want to be around anyone or anything with a baby etc. I mean I still felt happy for those who deserved it but at the sane time it's hard regardless. I know your time is coming and it's going to be absolutely amazing and definitely worth the wait. I'm excited for you to start trying again. I know it will be a great turn out this time. Try to keep your head up.

Thanks sweetness! I hope it happens for me soon and we have a consult at CCRM over the phone since we don't live in Denver at the end of this month. This is our last try with IVF so we figured we'd go somewhere that has the highest success rates in the country. fX'd! We would like to be able to move on with our lives and start creating a family. I mean it's nice that we pretty much get to come and go as we please now since we don't have children but that's not the life we want for ourselves. We'll get there one way or another. I've started going to therapy so that if the IVF doesn't work and we go the adoption route I've been in therapy and been working through a lot of my emotions about that. I'll get my family one way or another!

 

[Mells54]

Sweet, no more babies for us. Pregnancy and as very hard on me. I had full on eclampsia with seizure. I spent my first night as a mom in ICU. Plus, I'm almost 40! Yes, the girls babble away all the time. It's like druling banjos, one squeals the other resounds. Lol!

Ash, I too understand watching others get pregnant when you don't. It took us over 8 years but got our babies. Don't lose hope. You will have the family you deserve. I'm glad you check in regularly. I know I found this site really helped me on my journey. There are all types of happy endings here.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ash- I have heard soooooo many great things about the one in Colorado. It's going to happen just like mells said there are always happy endings. At one point we looked at possible adoption just because we were unsure. Heck my husband still talks about possibly adopting a kid. He says there are so many unwanted children out there that even if we can just make one life better that would mean everything. Which to me it is crazy how many kids or babies just wanting to know what love is. And honestly they wouldn't look at you anything but a parent. But either way it will happen . And cont to keep in touch!!!

Mells- oh my goodness!! That is crazy. Glad everything worked our with you. That stuff is so dangerous. Well at least you have your babies and 2 for the price of 1 �� so I'm sure you all are just content as can be.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Mells- Haha! I'm not ready yet. I'm working on organizing the nursery but I can't do everything until DH returns next month. I had a Dr appt last Fri and found that my boy is much bigger than average (4lb, 3oz and 81st percentile) and has a big head (90-something percentile). There is excess fluid and I have placenta previa, so I'm getting a non-stress test on Wednesday and it looks like I will have a C-section. I'm fine with it considering that his head is so big already. Dr said even if the placenta moves it might be best. I was told to take it easy and not to lift anything heavy. Thank goodness I have great friends who have been there for me. I can't believe I will have my little miracle soon!

 

[Em260]

Mumdadandb - thank you and congratulations!!! That line is very clear!!!

Lotus - you're getting so close! I had a placenta previa as well. It's good you're taking it easy. Rest up as much as possible.

 

[Em260]

Ash - I wondered how you were doing too. That is really great news you're heading to CCRM! There are so many success stories with them. I remember how it felt watching everyone around me fall pregnant while we were struggling It's so hard but you will have your family one way or another. I hope you'll update us on how your cycle is going. That way we can cheer you on.
